Who’s next for the caped crusader

All that fans really know about the next Batman film is that Director Chris Nolan will return and that lead actor Christian Bale will almost definitely return as well. Other than that, we have no idea about what the next classic will look like, who will star in it, or what villains will be appearing. I have compiled this list of villains who would make the next movie match or even top The Dark Knight.

Bane (played by Javier Bardem) – The actor would definitely need help putting on that much muscle either by prosthetics or intense body building. The look of Bane is important, but the very dark history needs to seep through the character making him both a physical and mental threat to the dark knight.  

Deadshot (played by Thomas Jane) – He already has experience playing The Punisher and would make the transition easily. Plus with all the guns and weapons that Deadshot is known for, he needs to be played by someone who is both suave and frightening at the same time.

Firefly (Jason Statham) – I personally think that Firefly would be a thrilling villain in the next film. He is an interesting character who needs to be played by someone who knows violence and action but can also be twisted and dark. Jason plays both regularly and he would mix them in his performance well.

This next list is villains I would like to see but would never appear in a realistic movie because they are too unbelievable.

Clayface- A haunted actor whose downfall is his own vanity and now that he is down on his luck he has to resort to crime. That is an almost perfect scenario from which a really great villain could emerge, but he then becomes a giant clay monster and loses all believability.

Killer Croc- A social outcast, his mutation leads him into the sewers where he now calls home. His mutation is that he has sharp crocodile features like a large tail and forked tongue. He could be changed into a strong possibly less mutated villain, but he really looses his flair.

This is just a starting list and there are hundreds of other possibilities like Black mask, Catwoman, The Riddler, Hush or any of the others. This is just to get the fans ready to see the next film. Hopefully, whoever the next Batman villain turns out to be, the caped crusader fans know and love will be ready to defend Gotham.

Top 10 graphic novels

10 .KnightFall part 1- Without a doubt one of the best Batman stories ever told. It introduced comic fans to Bane and even had the fall of the very Batman himself

9. 300- Frank Millers epic tale of 300 Spartans versus millions of Persians. Some striking artwork combined with a rich story make for a must read.

8. Wanted- Mark Millar tells of the lowly Wesley Gibson’s rise from nerdy tech guy into international/inter dimensional super criminal. A very original idea told from the perspective of the bad guy makes this one interesting.

7. The Punisher Presents: Barracuda- A story centered on Barracuda, who is by one of the most deranged characters in the entire Marvel universe, I mean come on he’s taken The Punisher to his limits and this series epitomizes his brutality.

6. Batman: The Long Halloween- My personal favorite Batman story. Two-Face’s origin story is told in the way of a classic mystery. It’s not lacking in any way id say this is a great read for Batman, Two face or mystery fans.

5. Spiderman: Kraven’s Last Hunt- Kraven is a severely underrated charterer and this story shows why he should get a lot more attention. I don’t want to spoil it but it’s a great ending and is almost sad.

4. Superman: For All Seasons- Jeph Loeb’s amazing writing with one of the best artists Tim Sale create a fascinating tale about Superman growing up in a small town and becoming The Man of Steel he is today.

3. Hellboy: The Right Hand of doom- A collection of short stories centering on both Hellboy and the BPRD, each tale is interesting and none seem to drag on. One of my favorite stories King Vold is in this edition and is a great read.

2. Watchmen- It’s the Watchmen, just read it and shut up.

1. After a little discussion the best graphic novel is arguable I’ll let the fans decide
